need to how to configure access for mysql, how to run mysqld from inetd and learn mysql command lines :)

Install mysql server
it's very easy just follow the readme

next time if you want to install linux for server you must install inetd
for easy configuration of your server

inetd = the super internet server running all server application from one command then the appropriate server/daemon will activated when there is a requests from clients.
inetd.conf = contains inetd config what server/daemon to run when specifice service is requested by client. like this one below
ssh stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/sshd -i
service ssh is running by daemon sshd which wrapped by tcpd for security reason
tcpd = control who can access the specific service
file /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny
/etc/services = type of services and on what port it running

[answer for /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/services are now found]

folder /var/log is containing logs which are created by syslogd and klogd
for help type man syslog or man syslogd or man syslog.conf

Looking for answer what is the purpose of /etc/hosts.allow, /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/services on the net and irc.
Does it got something to do with Ipchains/Iptables or inetd?

Got nothing/No Answer satisfied me.

Will go on with the next step: Install Netfilter, LIDS and Firewall
